Cedar Hill’s “Hell House” featured on documentary and NPR’s This American Life

Sarah Crisman says:

It's like a haunted house, but each scene shows teenage church members acting out scenes of things the church considers sins.

The Atheist group I'm in is going this Friday. I can feel the burning sensation already.

I remember hearing that when you leave, you have to sit through a brief session where they try to bring you over to Jesus. I'll pass.

Sarah Crisman, says:

It's true, there's a "Decision Room" at the end of the line in which visitors have the opportunity to convert/re-commit to Christianity.

This is, of course, after watching a school shooting, an abortion, a rape scene (or two), and a teenage boy die of AIDS.

I'll just show them my ID with my name on it. I'm already with Jesus.

I was on the air ,,,,supposedly glibly fundraising for Pledge Drive,,,, this past Saturday when this This American Life segment ran. Try spinning THAT in a happy-go-lucky way in between breaks.

The odd thing to me is that the T.A.L. segment said this house was in Ft. Worth. If indeed it is in Cedar Hill, that's a problem. Cedar Hill is not Ft. Worth any more than Guam is in the Hawaiian Islands.

Oh yes...Hell House. I still remember the feeling that came over me when my teen-aged daughter wanted to go to Hell House. Fear, but not the sort they intended to inspire.

That was a long conversation. In the end, it turned out to be a valuable experience for her in manipulation techniques.
